Take A Chill Pill (2022)

Found images and acrylic medium on foam board with gold-lined wood frame

10" x 14 1/4" x 1 1/2"

 

This one-of-a-kind, handmade collage is part of my FEBRUALLAGE 2022 collection—a set of works created for an international challenge using a daily prompt to create a new collage each day in February. This collage was prompted by the word: UPSIDE-DOWN

 

This calm and cool collage features a black and white photo from LIFE magazine on a autumnal landscape, also sourced from LIFE. Princess birds flock to her, adding a touch of childlike whimsy to the serene scene. The foamboard collage is mounted to a handmade wood frame. The inside edge of the frame is coated with gold paint to add a subtle touch of reflection (and glamour)!

 

Initialed on the front & signed in signature silver on the back.

 

All collages are made from found and recycled materials—they carry the story of their past (and some materials are very old)! This can mean discoloration, cracks, fading or other imperfections. It’s all part of the process. To maintain the integrity of your art, keep out of direct, sustained sunlight.
